The autofocus on my 10D is not so hot. It's always a little aft of where I want it to be. The distance aft varies on the distance to the subject--anywhere for a couple of cm to several feet. Because of this tendency, I've developed a technique of: 1. Stopping down more than I'd like, often meaning I have to set the ISO higher as well. 2. Waiting for focus lock then tweaking the focus ring clockwise a hair to bring the focus more forward. Due to the reduced size of the viewfinder image and the focus screen, it is difficult for me to manually focus with great accuracy and speed. I sent the camera in to Canon and they sent it back after 3 weeks stating they set it to tolerances, but it's still the same. I've done multiple tests on tripod with dice, film boxes, rulers, etc. with multiple lenses and it's not my technique--it's the camera. Never had this problem with my Elan II or my 1v, (or even my wife's G-1) * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
